Commercial elevations, storefronts, and ordinance work
Vanderhoff crews swingstage mid-rise brick, rebuild parapets, and replace lintels on Elmhurst and Oak Brook commercial buildings. Water is the enemy. We write the elevation, not a one-line “tuckpoint as needed.”
Stone Veneer Installation for Elmhurst homes
Natural and manufactured stone, each in its place
Natural thin stone provides unparalleled depth and resilience; high-quality manufactured veneer offers similar character with reduced weight and expense. Our specification depends on the substrate, exposure, and architectural style—the right choice is the one your home can properly support.
The unseen layers determine the outcome
Behind the stone lies a critical assembly: a water-resistive barrier, galvanized lath, a scratch coat, and base drainage. Veneer failures almost invariably stem from flaws in these hidden components, which permit water to decay the supporting wall. We construct this assembly to withstand Elmhurst weather for generations.
Entries, fireplaces, and facades transformed
Veneer elevates front entries, fireplace surrounds, foundation facades, and knee walls with the substantial presence of full stone at a fraction of the mass. Corners, sills, and transitions receive meticulous attention equal to the field. The completed work should appear as if it were part of the original design.
The Trust of Elmhurst Homeowners
Historic Elmhurst brickwork merits a solution beyond a temporary fix. Our network masons diagnose the moisture cause behind each problem, formulate mortar that complements the original brick, and tool each joint to mirror the wall’s existing profile. A written package scope and a clear written scope are included with every project.
